Grease Fittings & Protectors

What are grease fittings and why are they important?

Grease fittings – also known as zerk fittings, Alemite fittings, grease nipples, or lubrication nipples – are essential lubrication access points used in mechanical systems to inject grease directly into bearings and joints. They are designed with a one-way valve: when grease is applied under pressure, it enters the lubrication chamber but prevents grease or contaminants from escaping.

Without grease fittings, consistent and clean lubrication would be nearly impossible in closed systems, leading to accelerated wear and mechanical failure.

Choosing the right grease fitting – what should you know?

Grease fittings vary in:

• Thread type (SAE, metric)

• Angle (straight, 45°, 65°, 90°)

• Length and head style

• Material and pressure rating

At Lubretec, we offer fittings in kits of 5, 10, or comprehensive 80-piece assortments, including the most common sizes and styles, manufactured to rigorous industrial quality standards.

Need to remove or replace a grease fitting?

4-way grease fitting tools - small & large

Try a 4-way grease fitting tool 

Whether you're dealing with a damaged fitting or simply replacing it, our 4-way grease fitting tool makes the job quick and precise. This multi-functional tool is capable of:

  • Installing new fittings
  • Extracting broken zerks
  • Rethreading worn holes

How can I keep grease fittings clean & easy to identify?

Protect them with OilSafe grease fitting caps

Contamination is one of the main causes of bearing failure. Grease fitting protectors act as a first defence against:

  • Dust, moisture, and debris
  • Misidentification
  • Accidental cross-contamination

OilSafe caps fit snugly around SAE and metric fittings and are available in 10 colours, allowing you to easily code grease types or lubrication points.


Benefits include:

  • Preventing ingress of dirt and water
  • Extending bearing and component life
  • Supporting clean, accurate lubrication
  • Simplifying maintenance with colour-coded systems


Available in sizes 1/4”, 13/32” and 17/32”, and sold in packs of 100.

Looking for a full identification solution?

Colour-coded grease fitting protector kits

To ensure accurate lubrication, especially in complex machinery, we offer 3-colour and 6-colour kits, including:

  • Durable grease caps
  • Label space for identification
  • Matching 0.5” labels and holders

This system makes it easy to align bulk storage grease with its application point, reducing errors and downtime.

Why proper Wire Rope Lubrication is essential

Wire ropes are critical components in lifting, hoisting, marine and mining operations. Their performance and safety depend heavily on regular, effective maintenance. One of the most vital – yet often overlooked – elements of this is lubrication.

Studies show that well-lubricated wire ropes can last 2 to 3 times longer than dry, unmaintained ropes. However, traditional manual methods like brushing, dipping or spraying are inefficient, messy, and fail to reach the internal core where wear and corrosion typically begin.

Manual lubrication of wire ropes?

Wire rope lubricator in action

Tired of time-consuming, messy and unreliable rope greasing? 

Watch the Wire Rope Lubricator in action on a dry dock ship lift, where it applies high-pressure lubrication directly into the core of steel wire ropes – with no need to disassemble or halt operations. This semi-automatic system ensures deep, consistent coverage, extending the life of your ropes and rope equipment while
keeping your worksite clean and efficient.

How does the Lubretec WRL wire rope lubrication system work?

The Lubretec Wire Rope Lubricator (WRL) is an advanced high-pressure applicator that ensures thorough, efficient, and clean lubrication, even at the rope’s core. The system comprises:

  • Lightweight industrial applicator housing
  • High-pressure resistant seals tailored to wire rope diameters (16–36 mm)
  • 60:1 ratio high-pressure grease pump (max. 8 bar)
  • Drum cover and follower plate (available for 20, 50, and 180 kg drums)
  • HP hoses, valves, air regulator and quick connectors
  • Mounting tools and heavy-duty aluminium case

This semi-automatic system enables safe, continuous lubrication while the rope is moving at low speed, dramatically improving consistency and reducing downtime.


What makes the Lubretec WRL system different?

  • Deep core penetration: The high-pressure system forces grease into the rope core, far beyond what brushing or spraying can achieve
  • Water and contaminant removal: Expels internal water and old grease before applying new lubricant
  • Custom seal fit: Synthetic seals designed for optimal pressure and minimal wear
  • Controlled application: Adjustable air and grease pressure ensures just the right film, no excess, no mess
  • Proven durability: Lubricates over 3,000 metres of wire per seal, depending on rope condition.

Wire rope lubricator - Grease pump for 20/50/180 kg drum

Applications

Wire rope lubricators are specialised devices used to apply lubricants to wire ropes in order to maintain their performance, extend their lifespan, and ensure safety. They are commonly employed in industries where wire ropes are subjected to harsh operating conditions, such as construction, mining, offshore, and heavy machinery industries. Here's an overview of the key applications and benefits of wire rope lubricators:

Mining industry

Mining Industry

Mining operations often rely on heavy-duty wire ropes for hoisting, material handling, and conveyor systems.

The ropes endure constant friction and exposure to abrasive materials like dust, dirt, and water. Lubricators help prevent wear and corrosion of the ropes, ensuring that they maintain strength and flexibility in challenging underground environments.

Oil and gas rigs

Offshore Oil & Gas

In offshore drilling and oil platforms, wire ropes are used for lifting and anchoring equipment, mooring lines, and tensioning systems.

The saltwater environment accelerates corrosion, while ropes are also exposed to heavy loads and dynamic motion. Lubricators protect against rust and wear, preventing failures that could lead to costly downtime or safety hazards.

Marine industry

Marine Industry

Marine applications, such as in shipyards, ports, or on ships themselves, use wire ropes for mooring, towing, and loading/unloading cargo.

Exposure to seawater and harsh weather conditions can quickly corrode and degrade wire ropes. Lubricators help to keep ropes in good working condition, improving reliability and safety.

Question

FAQ - Wire Rope Lubricators

FAQ - wire rope lubricator

How time consuming is the Wire Rope Lubricator to use?

In comparison to manual lubrication the Wire Rope Lubricator delivers a significant reduction in labour and downtime, once the Wire Rope Lubricator is set up and the wire rope speed versus pump speed is adjusted then the operation is virtually automatic. Lubrication can occur at speeds of up to 3,333 feet per hour (1,000 meters per hour).

How long will a set of Seals last when lubricating wire ropes?

This depends on a number of factors including the condition of the wire ropes being lubricated and whether there are abrasive contaminants on the ropes prior to them entering the seal. However as an example a marine customer recently lubricated 7,000 metres / 4.3 miles of 1-3/8" (34mm) wire ropes while their ship was in dry dock. At the end of the lubrication session the customer feedback was that there was no leakage from the seal and that the seal had virtually no wear visible. It is estimated that in normal use Wire Rope Lubricator seals will last 40,000 — 50,000 feet (12,000 to 15,000 meters).

How effective is the Wire Rope Lubricator in lubricating; Locked Core / Non Rotating /
Armoured wire ropes?

These types of wire ropes have extremely tightly wound strands with little space between the strands for wire rope lubricants to penetrate. While it cannot be guaranteed that the Wire Rope Lubricator will enable penetration of lubricant to the core with these types of ropes, it can be guaranteed that it will provide significantly improved lubrication compared to traditional manual lubrication methods. It is even more important with these types of ropes to select a Wire Rope lubricating product that offers penetration and provides an outer coating protection.

What if users want to lubricate wire ropes smaller than 5/16" (8mm)?

The smallest wire rope the Wire Rope Lubricator supports is 5/16" (8mm). For smaller wire ropes it is recommended to use a lubricant that can be applied with a small garden sprayer or pump up applicator. The right high quality lubricant will penetrate smaller ropes to the core, providing corrosion protection and anti wear protection.
